ZEOLITES
The present invention relates to a novel zeolite hereinafter referred to as zeolite NU-87, to a method of making it, and to processes using it as a catalyst.
According to the present invention we provide a catalyst and processes catalysed thereby characterised by a zeolite, referred to hereinafter as NU-87, having a chemical composition expressed on an anhydrous basis, in terms of the mole ratios of oxides, by the formula: 100X0 2 equal to or less than 10 Y 2 0 3 equal to or less than R2/nO where R is one or more cations of valency n, X is silicon and/or germanium, Y is one or more of aluminium, iron, gallium, boron, titanium, vanadium, zirconium, molybdenum, arsenic, antimony, chromium and manganese and having, in its as-prepared form, an X-ray diffraction pattern including the lines shown in Table 1.
The zeolite NU-87 may be present in the catalyst in its hydrogen form, designated H-NU-87, produced by calcination and/or ion exchange as described herein. Zeolite H-NU-87 has an X-ray diffraction pattern S00 including the lines shown in Table 2.

This may occur for poorly crystalline samples or in samples in which the crystals are sufficiently small to result in significant X-ray broadening. It may also occur if the equipment, or conditions, used to obtain the pattern differ from those used herein.
The X-ray powder diffraction data provided herein were obtained with a Philips APD 1700 automated X-ray diffraction system using Cu K-alpha radiation from a long fine focus X-ray tube operating at 40 KV and 50 mA.
The radiation was monochromatised by a curved graphite crystal adjacent to the detector. An automatic theta-"ompensating divergence slit was used with a 0.1 mm receiving slit. Step scanned data were collected between 1 and 60 degrees two-theta. The collected data were analysed in a DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) Micro PDP -11/73 computer with Philips PW 1867/87 version 3.0 software.
It is believed that NU-87 has a new framework structure or topology which is characterised by its X-ray diffraction pattern. NU-87 in its as-prepared and hydrogen forms has substantially the X-ray data given in Tables 1 and 2 respectively and is thereby distinguished from known zeolites. In particular it is distinguished from zeolite EU-1, as described in European Patent 42226, since the X-ray diffraction pattern 0o for EU-1 does not contain an X-ray line at about 12.5A. Furthermore the 00oo X-ray diffraction pattern for EU-1 contains an X-ray line at about 10.1A uc° which line is absent from the X-ray diffraction patterns of NU-87.
25 25 Within the above definition of chemical composition the number of oo« moles of Y 2 0 3 per 100 moles of X0 2 is typically in the range 0.1 to 10 for o. example 0.2 to 7.5 and zeolite NU-87 appears to be most readily formed in a state of high purity when the number of moles of Y 2 0 3 per 100 moles of X0 2 is in the range 0.4 to This definition includes as-prepared NU-87 and also forms of it b resulting from dehydration and/or calcination and/or ion exchange. The expression "as-prepared" means the product of synthesis and washing with 00 o or without drying or dehydration. In its as-prepared form NU-87 may include M, an alkali-metal cation, especially sodium and/or ammonium and, 0 0 0 0o i H35070 when prepared for example from alkylated nitrogen compounds, may include nitrogen-containing organic cations as described below or degradation products thereof or precursors thereof. Such nitrogen-containing organic cations are hereinafter referred to as Q.
Thus zeolite NU-87, as prepared, has the following molar composition, expressed on an anhydrous basis: 100 X0 2 less than or equal to 10 Y 2 0 3 less than or equal to 10 Q: less than or equal to 10 M 2 0 where Q is the nitrogen-containing organic cation referred to above and M is the alkali metal and/or ammonium cation.
The compositions for NU-87 above are given on an anhydrous basis, although as-prepared NU-87 and activated forms of NU-87 resulting from calcination and/or ion exchange may contain water. The molar H 2 0 content of such forms, including as-prepared NU-87, depends on the conditions under which it has been dried and stored after synthesis or activation.
The range of molar quantities of contained water is typically between 0 and 100 per 100 XO 2 Calcined forms of zeolite NU-87, include no nitrogen-containing organic compound or less than the as-prepared form, since the organic material is burned out in the presence of air, leaving hydrogen ion as the other cation.
Among the ion-exchanged forms of zeolite NU-87 the ammonium (NH 4 form is of importance since it can be readily converted to the hydrogen .o form by calcination. The hydrogen form and forms containing metals o introduced by ion exchange are described below. Under some circumstances exposure of the zeolite of the invention to acid can result in partial or 5o complete removal of a framework element such as aluminium as well as the generation of the hydrogen form. This can provide a means of altering the oo., composition of the zeolite material after it has been synthesised.
oo Zeolite NU-87 may also be characterised by its sorptive capacity for molecules of various sizes. Table 3 contains sorption results which were obtained on the hydrogen form of zeolite NU-87, the product from example 6.
*The data were obtained using a McBain Bakr spring balance for water and methanol and a CI Robal Microbalance for all other sorbates. Samples were outgassed at 300 0 C, overnight, before measurements were made.
S 35 Results are presented as Z uptake at relative pressures (P/Po) where Po is the saturated vapour pressure. The figures for apparent voidage filled were calculated assuming that the liquids maintain their normal Sdensities at the sorption temperature.

The apparent voidage filled was calculated assuming the liquids maintain their normal densities at the adsorption temperature 2. Kineti.- diameters are taken from "Zeolite Molecular Sieves", D W Breck, J Wiley and Sons, 1976 p636.

I I ~-ri~~~c1 I H35070 The kinetic diameters given in the extreme right hand column of Table 3 were taken from "Zeolite Molecular Sieves" D W Breck, J Wiley and Sons, 1976 (p636), with the value for methanol assumed to be the same as for methane, the value for n-hexane to be the same as for n-butane and for 5 value for toluene to be the same as for benzene.
l The results show that NU-87 has significant capacity for various sorbates at low partial pressures. The low uptake for water, compared with methanol, n-hexane, toluene and cyclohexane, indicates that NU-87 has significant hydrophobic character. The results in Table 3 indicate that 10 zeolite NU-87 shows a molecular sieving effect with respect to neopentane I since much lower uptakes were observed compared with the other hydrocarbon i sorbates at similar relative pressures. In addition the time required to reach equilibrium was much longer than for the other hydrocarbon sorbates.
These results indicate that NU-87 has a window size close to 0.62 nanometres.
The invention also pilvides a method for the preparation of zeolite NU-87 which comprises reacting an aqueous mixture comprising a source of at least one oxide X0 2 optionally a source of at least one oxide Y 2 0 3 optionally a source of at least one oxide M 2 0 and at least one nitrogen-containing organic cation Q, or precursors thereof, the mixture preferably having the molar composition:

In some circumstances it may be an advantage to add a salt L Z where Z is an anion of valency p and L is an alkali metal or ammonium ion which may be the '1 same as M or a mixture of M and another alkali metal or an ammonium ion necessary to balance the anion Z. Z may comprise an acid radical added I: ~I S-8- H35070 for example as a salt of L or as a salt of aluminium. Examples of Z may include strong acid radicals such as bromide, chloride, iodide, sulphate, phosphate or nitrate or weak acid radicals such as organic acid radicals, for example citrate or acetate. While L Z is not essential, it may accelerate the crystallisation of zeolite NU-87 from the reaction mixture and may also affect the crystal size and shape of NU-87. The reaction is continued until it contains a major proportion ie at least 50.52 of zeolite NU-87.

For example zeolite EU-1 (EP 42226), zeolite EU-2 (GB 2 077 709) and zeolite ZSM-23 (EP 125 078, GB 2 202 838) have been prepared using such templates. The use of these templates in the preparation of zeolites and molecular sieves has also been described in the PhD thesis of J L Casci entitled "The Use of Organic Cations in Zeolite Synthesis" (1982) The University of Edinburgh, and in the following papers:- G W Dodwell, R P Denkewicz and L B Sand "Zeolites", 1985, vol 5, page 153 and J L Casci Proc.

S-9- H35070 and M and/or Q can be added as hydroxides or salts of inorganic acids provided the (R 1 n)OH/XO2 ratio is fulfilled.
Suitable precursors of the nitrogen containing organic cation Q include the parent diamine with a suitable alkyl halide or the parent dihaloalkane with a suitable trialkylamine. Such materials can be used as simple mixtures or they can be pre-heated together in the reaction vessel, preferably in solution, prior to the addition of the other reactants required for the synthesis of zeolite NU-87.
The preferred cation M is an alkali metal especially sodium, the preferred XO 2 is silica (SiO 2 )and the preferred oxide Y 2 0 3 is alumina (A1 2 0 3 The silica source can be any of those commonly considered for use in synthesising zeolites, for example powdered solid silica, silicic acid, colloidal silica or dissolved silica. Among the powdered silicas usable are precipitated silicas, especially those made by precipitation from an alkali metal silicate solution, such as the type known as "KS 300" made by AKZO, and similar products, aerosil silicas, fumed silicas e.g.
"CAB-0-SIL" and silica gels suitably in grades for use in reinforcing pigments for rubber and silicone rubber. Colloidal silicas of various S particle sizes may be used, for example 10-15 or 40 50 microns, as sold under the Registered Trade Marks "LUDOX", "NALCOAG" and "SYTON". The usable dissolved silicas include commercially available waterglass silicates containing 0.5 to 6.0, especially 2.0 to 4.0 mols of Si0 2 per mol of alkali metal oxide, "active" alkali metal silicates as defined in .a UK Patent 1193254, and silicates made by dissolving silica in alkali metal 25 hydroxide or quaternary ammonium hydroxide or a mixture thereof.
The optional alumina source is most conveniently sodium aluminate, or .o aluminium, an aluminium salt, for example the chloride, nitrate or sulphate, an aluminium alkoxide or alumina itself, which should preferably be in a hydrated or hydratable form such as colloidal alumina, pueudoboehmite, boehmite, gamma alumina or the alpha or beta trihydrate.
Mixtures of the above can be used.
SOptionally all or some of the alumina and silica source may be added o e in the form of an aluminosilicate.
The reaction mixture is usually reacted under autogenous pressure, 35 optionally with added gas, e.g. nitrogen, at a temperature between 850C and 2500C, preferably 1200C and 2000C, until crystals of zeolite NU-87 form, which can be from 1 hour to many months depending on the reactant acomposition and the operating temperature. Agitation is optional, but is t L C t H35070 preferable since it reduces the reaction time and can improve product purity.
The use of seed material can be advantageous in decreasing the time to nucleation and/or overall crystallisation time. It may also be an advantage in encouraging the formation of NU-87 at the expense of an impurity phase. Such seed materials include zeolites, especially crystals of zeolite NU-87. The seed crystals are usually added in an amount of between 0.01 and 10Z of the weight of silica used in the reaction mixture.
The use of a seed is particularly desirable when the nitrogen-containing organic cation is a polymethylene alpha, omega-diammonium cation with seven, eight or nine methylene groups ie m is 7, 8 or 9.
At the end of the reaction, the solid phase is collected in a filter and washed, and is then ready for further steps such as drying, dehydration and ion exchange.
If the product of the reaction contains alkali metal ions, these have to be at least partly removed in order to prepare the hydrogen form of NU-87 and this can be done by ion-exchange with an acid, especially a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid or by way of the ammonium compound, made by ion exchange with a solution of an ammonium salt such as ammonium 2 chloride. Ion exchange may be carried out by slurrying once or several times with the ion exchange solution. The zeolite is usually calcined before ion exchange to remove any occluded organic matter since this o, usually facilitates ion exchange.
ooo 0 In general, the cation(s) of zeolite NU-87 can be replaced by any cation(s) of metals, and particularly those in groups 1A, 1B, IIA, IIB, 25 oooo* IIIA and IIIB (including rare earths) VIII (including noble metals) other transition metals and by tin, lead and bismuth. (The Periodic Table is as coo in "Abridgements of Specifications" published by the UK Patent Office).
oo Exchange is normally carried out using a solution containing a salt of the appropriate cation.
Methods for preparing NU-87 are illustrated by the following Examples.

Such catalysts may be used in a wide variety of catalytic processes and using a wide variety of feedstocks.
Catalytically useful forms of zeolite NU-87 include the hydrogen and ammonium forms, prepared by the methods hereinbefore described.
Catalysts according to the invention comprising NU-87 may also comprise one or more elements, especially metals or cations thereof, or compounds of said elements, especially metal oxides. Such catalysts may be prepared by ion-exchange or impregnation of zeolite NU-87 with the said element, cation or compound, or a suitable precursor of said cation or compound. Such ion-exchange or impregnation may be carried out on the as-prepared zeolite NU-87, the calcined form, the hydrogen form and/or the ammonium form and/or any other exchanged form.
In cases where a metal-containing form of zeolite NU-87 is prepared by ion-exchange it may be desirable to effect complete exchange of the metal, by which is meant that substantially all of the exchangeable sites are occupied by the metal. In most cases, however, it is preferable to effect only partial exchange of the metal, the remaining sites being occupied by another cation especially hydrogen or ammonium cations. In ,,some cases it may be desirable to introduce two or more metal cations by "'ion exchange.
In cases where zeolite NU-87 is impregnated with a metal compound to form a catalyst, the metal compound may be added in any suitable t quantity, but 20% by weight is generally sufficient for most applications; for some applications up to 102 by weight is sufficient, and quantities of up to 5% are often appropriate. Impregnation may be carried by any suitable method known in the art of catalyst preparation.
Metal-exchanged forms or forms in which a metal compound has been o o',impregnated may be used as such or they may be treated to produce an active derivative. Treatments include reduction, for example in an atmosphere comprising hydrogen, to produce a metal or other reduced forms.
:Such treatments may be carried out at a suitable stage in the catalyst ,preparation or may conveniently be carried out in the catalytic reactor.
Catalytic compositions comprising zeolite NU-87 can, if desired, 3*,be associated with an inorganic matrix which may be either inert or catalytically active. The matrix may be present solely as a binding agent to hold the zeolite particles together, possibly in a particular shape or form, for example as a pellet or extrudate, or it may function as an inert diluent, for example to control the activity per unit weight of catalyst.
1
A
1- 1 -34- H35070 When the inorganic matrix or diluent is itself catalytically active it can thereby form an effective part of the zeolite/matrix catalyst composition.
Suitable inorganic matrices and diluents include conventional catalyst support materials such as silica, the various forms of alumina, clays such as bentonites, montmorillonites, sepiolite, attapulgite, Fullers Earth and synthetic porous materials such as silica-alumina, silica-zirconia, silica-thoria, silica-beryllia or silica-titania. Combinations of matrices are contemplated within the present invention, especially combinations of inert and catalytically-active matrices.
When zeolite NU-87 is associated with an inorganic matrix material or a plurality thereof, the proportion of matrix material or materials in the total composition usually amounts to up to about 90% by weight, preferably up to 50Z by weight, more preferably up to 30Z by weight.
For some applications another zeolite or molecular sieve may be used in conjunction with zeolite NU-87 to form a catalyst. Such a combination may be used as such or associated with one or more matrix materials hereinbefore described. A particular example of the use of such an overall composition is as a fluid catalytic cracking catalyst additive, in which case zeolite NU-87 is preferably used in an amount of 0.5 to v weight of the total catalyst.
Ot For other applications zeolite NU-87 may be combined with another catalyst, such as platinum on alumina.
Any convenient method of mixing zeolite NU-87 with an inorganic S,Matrix and/or another zeolite material, may be employed, especially 'that suited to the final form in which the catalyst is used, for example extrudates, pellets or granules.
If zeolite NU-87 is used to form a catalyst in conjunction with a metal component (for example, a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component or S'6*gther catalytically active metal) in addition to an inorganic matrix, the component can be exchanged or impregnated into the zeolite NU-87 '"itself before addition of the matrix material or into the zeolite-matrix pe composition. For some applications it may be advantageous to add the metal component to the whole or part of the matrix material before mixing the latter with the zeolite NU-87.
A wide range of hydrocarbon conversion catalysts comprising "'zeolite NU-87 can be prepared by ion-exchange or impregnation of the z 'eolite with one or more cations or oxides derived from elements selected from Cu, Ag, Ga, Mg, Ca, Sr, Zn, Cd, B, Al, Sn, Pb, V, P, Sb, Cr, Mo, W, Mn, Re, Fe, Co, Ni and noble metals.
H35070 o a @4O In cases where catalysts comprising zeolite NU-87 contain one or more hydrogenation/dehydrogenation components such as the metals Ni, Co, Pt, Pd, Re and Rh, such components can be introduced by ion-exchange or impregnation of a suitable compound of the metal.
Catalyst compositions comprising zeolite Nu-87 may find application in reactions involving saturated and unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, oxygenated organic compounds and organic compounds containing nitrogen and/or sulphur as well as organic compounds containing other functional groups.
In general, catalyst compositions comprising zeolite NU-87 can be usefully employed in reactions involving isomerisation, transalkylation and disproportionation, alkylation and de-alkylation, dehydration and hydration, oligomerisation and polymerisation, cyclisation, aromatisation, cracking, hydrogenation and dehydrogenation, oxidation, halogenation, synthesis of amines, hydrodesulphurisation and hydrodenitrification, ether formation and synthesis of organic compounds in general.
The above processes may be carried out in either the liquid or vapour phase under conditions which are chosen as suitable for each individual reaction. For example, the reactions carried out in the vapour phase may involve the use of fluid bed, fixed bed or moving bed operations. Process diluents may be used when required. Depending upon the particular process, suitable diluents include inert gases (such as nitrogen or helium), hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, water or hydrogen. The diluent may be inert or it may exert a chemical effect. It may be an advantage, especially in cases where hydrogen is used, to include a metal component, such as a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component, for example one or more of the metals, Ni, Co, Pt, Pd, Re or Rh as part of the catalyst composition.
According to a further aspect of the present invention we provide 030 a hydrocarbon conversion process which comprises contacting an alkylbenzene or a mixture of alkylbenzenes under isomerisation conditions in the vapour or liquid phase with a catalyst comprising zeolite NU-87.
Isomerisation reactions for which catalysts comprising zeolite NU-87 are of particular use are those involving alkanes and substituted aromatic molecules, especially xylenes. Such reactions may include those w which can be carried out in the presence of hydrogen. Catalyst S compositions containing zeolite NU-87 which are of particular use in isomerisation reactions include those in which the NU-87 is in its acid form, cation-exchanged form, or other metal-containing forms or 0*r .0 0
S.,
c4 t -36- H35070 combinations thereof. Especially useful are those forms in which the metal is a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component such as Ni, Co, Pt, Pd, Re or Rh.
Particular isomerisation reactions in which a catalyst comprising NU-87 may be found useful include xylene isomerisation and hydroisomerisation of xylenes, paraffin, in particular C 4 to C 10 normal hydrocarbons, or olefin isomerisation and catalytic dewaxing..
Xylene isomerisation and hydroisomerisation may be carried out in the liquid or vapour phase. In the liquid phase, suitable isomerisation conditions include a temperature in the range 0-3500C, a pressure in the range 1-200 atmospheres absolute, preferably 5-70 atmospheres absolute, and when conducted in a flow system, a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) preferably in the range 1-30 hr 1 based on the total catalyst composition.
Optionally, a diluent may be present, suitably one or more of those having a critical temperature higher than the isomerisation conditions being used. The diluent, if present, may comprise 1-90Z by weight of the feed.
Vapour phase xylene isomerisation and hydroisomerisation reactions are most suitably carried out at a temperature in the range 100-600 0
C,
preferably 200-500°C, at a pressure in the range 0.5-100 atmosphere absolute, preferably 1-50 atmospheres absolute, and at a WHSV up to based on the total catalyst composition.
When xylene isomerisation is conducted in the presence of hydrogen S (in the vapour phase), the preferred hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component is Pt or Ni. The hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component is usually added in an amount of between 0.05 and 2Z by weight of the total catalyst. Additional metals and/or metal oxides may be present in the catalyst composition.
In xylene isomerisation, ethylbenzene may be present in the xylene feed in amounts up to 40Z by weight. Over catalyst compositions comprising zeolite NU-87 the ethylbenzene will undergo transalkylation o 30: with itself, and with xylenes, to form heavier and lighter aromatic compounds. The ethylbenzene will also react to form benzene and light gas, particularly at temperatures above 400 0 C. With such xylene feeds oOo containing ethylbenzene, when reaction is carried out in the presence of hydrogen over a catalyst composition comprising zeolite NU-87 together with a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component, some of the ethylbenzene will isomerise to xylenes. It may also be an advantage to carry out xylene isomerisation reactions in the presence of a hydrocarbon compound, S especially a paraffin or nphthene with or without the additional presence -37- H35070 of hydrogen. The hydrocarbon appears to improve catalyst performance in that reactions which lead to xylenes loss are suppressed and, particularly when reactions are carried out in the absence of hydrogen, catalyst life is extended.
According to yet a further aspect of the present invention we provide a hydrocarbon conversion process which comprises contacting one or more alkylated aromatic compounds under transalkylation conditions in the vapour or liquid phase with a catalyst comprising zeolite NU-87.
Catalysts comprising zeolite NU-87 are of especial value in transalkylation and disproportionation reactions, in particular those reactions involving mono-, di-, tri- and tetra-alkyl substituted aromatic molecules, especially toluene and xylenes.
Catalyst compositions comprising NU-87 which are of particular use in transalkylation and disproportionation reaction include those in which the NU-87 component is in its acid form, its cation-exchanged form, or other metal-containing forms or combinations thereof. Especially useful is the acid form and those forms in which the metal is a hydrogenation/ dehydrogenation component such as Ni, Co, Pt, Pd, Re or Rh.
Particular examples of important processes include toluene disproportionation and the reaction of toluene with aromatic compounds containing 9 carbon atoms, for example t!,imethyl benzenes.
Toluene disproportionation can be conducted in the vapour phase either in the presence or absence of hydrogen, although the presence of hydrogen is preferred as this helps to suppress catalyst deactivation.
The most suitable reaction conditions are: temperatures in the range 250-650 0 C, preferably 300-550 0 C; pressures in the range 0.3-100 atmospheres absolute, preferably 1-50 atmospheres absolute; weight hourly space velocity up to 50 (based on the total catalyst composition).
When toluene disproportionation is conducted in the presence of l o 0: hydrogen the catalyst may, optionally, contain a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component. The preferred hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component is Pt, Pd, or Ni. The S hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component is normally added in a tt t concentration of up to 5Z by weight of the total catalyst composition.
31 Additional metals and/or metal oxides may be present in the catalyst composition, for example up to 5Z by weight of the total catalyst, composition.
The present invention further provides a hydrocarbon conversion process which comprises reacting an olefinic or aromatic compound with a -38- H35070 suitable alkylating compound under alkylating conditions in the vapour or liquid phase over a catalyst comprising zeolite NU-87.
Among the alkylation reactions for which catalysts comprising zeolite NU-87 are of particular use are the alkylation of benzene or substituted aromatic molecules with methanol or an olefin or ether.
Specific examples of such processes include toluene methylation, ethylbenzene synthesis, and the formation of ethyl toluene and cumene.
Alkylation catalysts used in processes according to this further aspect of the invention may comprise further materials, especially metal oxides which may improve catalytic performance.
Catalysts comprising zeolite NU-87 may find application in reactions involving the dehydration of alcohols, for example methanol and higher alcohols, to form hydrocarbons, including olefins and gasoline.
Other feedstocks for dehydration reactions involving a catalyst comprising NU-87 include ethers, aldehydes and ketones.
By the use of a catalyst comprising NU-87, hydrocarbons can be generated by carrying out oligomerisation, cyclisation and/or aromatisation reactions on unsaturated compounds such as ethene, propene butenes, on saturated compounds such as propane or butane or mixtures of 2 hydrocarbons such as light napthas. For some reactions, particularily aromatisation reactions, the catalyst may usefully comprise a metal or l metal oxide, especially platinum, gallium, zinc or their oxides.
Catalysts comprising NU-87 are of use in a variety of cracking .i reactions, including the cracking of olefins, paraffins or aromatics or mixtures thereof. Of particular value is the use of zeolite NU-87 as a fluid catalytic cracking catalyst additive to improve the product of the S cracking reaction. Zeolite NU-87 may also be used as a component of a catalyst in catalytic dewaxing or hydrocracking processes.
Hydrogenation/dehydrogenation processes, for example the dehydrogenation of alkanes to the corresponding olefins, are suitably carried out by contacting the appropriate feedstock under appropriate conditions with a catalyst comprising zeolite NU-87, especially when the latter also comprises a hydrogenation/dehydrogenation component such as Ni, Co, Pt, Pd, Re or Ru.
Zeolite NU-87 is useful as a component in a catalyst for the PCrv% cx(o\sX cr>A cknmrN.cC, preparation of amines for example the production of methylamines from methanol and ammonia.
Zeolite Nu-87 is also a useful catalyst for the formation of ethers, particularly by the reaction of two alcohols or by the reaction of -39- H35070 an olefin with an alcohol, especially the reaction of methanol with isobutene or pentenes.
The invention relating to catalysts comprising NU-87 and processes using these catalysts is illdstrated by the following Examples.
Example 17 Cracking of n-butane Example 17a The cracking of n-butane over H-NU-87 was examined using a portion of the material from Example 5. The procedure followed that described by: H Rastelli Jr., BM Lok, J A Duisman, D E Earls and J T Mullhaupt, Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume February 1982, pages 44-49. The contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
A portion of the product from Example 5 was pelleted, broken down and sieved to give a 500-1000 micron size fraction. 0.6293g of this material, which had been previously dehydrated by heating at 500 0 C for 4 hours in a stream of dry nitrogen, were charged to a stainless-steel micro reactor. Before carrying out the reaction the material was heated for 18 hours in stream of dry air.
A feed containing 2.1Z v/v n-butane, 15.2Z v/v nitrogen and 82.72 v/v helium was passed over the catalyst. The catalyst was maintained at a Stemperature of 500 0 C. The cracked products were analysed by gas chromatography. This showed that the zeolite cracked n-butane to C 1
-C
3 0"0" hydrocarbons. At a feed flow rate of 50 cm 3 per minute an n-butane .o conversion of 60Z was measured which corresponds to a kA of 72.8 cm3 /g min 2 using the equation given in the above reference.
Example 17b The cracking of n-butane over H-NU-87 was examined using a portion of the material from Example 15. The procedure followed that described in Example 17a.
A portion of the product from Example 15 was pelleted, broken-down o° and sieved to give a 500-1000 micron size fraction. 0.4006g of this material was charged to a stainless-steel micro reactor (internal diameter 4.6mm) and supported on glass wool and glass balls. The material was then dehydrated "in situ" by heating at 500 0 C for 18 hours in a stream of dry nitrogen.
3 A feed containing 2.0 mole Z n-butane, 15.2Z mole nitrogen and 82.8 mole Z helium was passed over the catalyst bed. The catalyst bed was maintained at a temperature of 500 0 C and atmospheric pressure. The cracked products were analysed by gas chromatography. At a feed flow rate of 96.8 cm 3 per minute an n-butane conversion of 41.7Z was measured. This I-i -F H35070 corresponds to a k of 144.8 cm /g min. The feed flow rate was then reduced to 51.7 cm per minute and gave an n-butane conversion of 62.1Z.
This corresponds to a kA of 139.0 cm 3 /g min.
The zeolite cracked the n-butane giving the following products: Weight Feed flow CH4 C2H6 C2H4 C3 8 C3H 6 rate (cm3/min) 96.8 8.9 11.0 23.0 33.5 23.6 51.7 9.2 11.1 22.3 39.5 17.9 The zeolite was then regenerated by heating at 500°C for 25.5 hours in a stream of dry air. The feed was reintroduced at a feed flow rate of 96.8 cm 3 per minute and a n-butane conversion of 43.3% was measured. This corresponds to a k A of 152.2 cm /g min. The feed flow rate was reduced to 50.7 cm 3 per minute and a n-butane conversion of 62.9Z was measured. This corresponds to a k A of 139.1 cm 3 /g min.
These examples show that zeolite NU-87 is an active catalyst for n-butane cracking.
The following example illustrates the use of zeolite NU-87 in Transalkylation/Disproportionation reactions.
Example 18: Disproportionation of Toluene A portion of the material from Example 5 was pelleted, broken down and sieved to give aggregates of between 425 and 1000 microns. 0.5g of this material was placed in a 5mm internal diameter stainless steel reactor and calcined at 5000C in air for 16 hours at atmospheric pressure.
The air was replaced by nitrogen and the reactor and contents were cooled to 3500C. Hydrogen was then passed through the reactor and the pressure raised to 20 bar. The flow rate was set at 2.59 litres per hour as measured at atmospheric pressure. After 1 hour, toluene was introduced into the hydrogen stream at a rate of 2.85 mls of liquid per hour. The mole ratio of hydrogen to toluene was 4 to 1.
The compositions of the product in weight percent at various times are given in Table 11. This shows that zeolite NU-87 is highly active and selective catalyst for the disproportionation of toluene.
The following examples illustrate the use of zeolite NU-87 in isomerisation reactions Example 19 Hydroisomerisation of n-Pentane Example 19a A slurry consisting of 2.31g of the material from Example 0.85ml of a chloroplatinic acid solution and 28 ml of deionised water was stirred in a closed vessel at room temperature for 4 hours. (The -41- H35070 chloroplatinic acid solution contained the equivalent of 0.368g of platinum in 25 ml of deionised water). Water was then evaporated from the mixture using a rotary evaporator and the resultant solid calcined in air at 500°C for 3 hours.
The platinum impregnated zeolite powder thus produced was analysed by Atomic Adsorption Spectroscopy (AAS) and found to contain 0.41 weight per cent platinum. The powder was pelleted, broken-down and sieved to give a 500 to 1000 micron size fraction.
1.12g of this material was transferred to a stainless steel reactor (internal diameter 4.2 mm) and reduced under a stream of hydrogen at 250°C and a pressure of 450 psig for 24 hours. Liquid n-pentane, which had previously been dried over a molecular sieve, was vaporised and mixed with hydrogen gas to produce a mixture with a molar ratio of H 2 to pentane of 1.5:1. This mixture was passed over the catalyst bed at a weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of 1.1 hour -1 based on the n-pentane at a pressure of 450 psig and a temperature of 2500C. The product leaving the reactor bed was analysed by on line chromatography. It was found to contain 72Z isopentane and 28Z n-pentane. This corresponds to a conversion of 72%.
This product composition is equivalent to the limiting thermodynamic equilibrium mixture of n- and iso-pentane at 2500C.- Thus, this example demonstrates the high activity of the Pt-NU-87 catalyst in n-pentane hydroisomerisation.

The resulting catalyst powder was analysed by AAS and found to contain 0.28 weight per cent platinum. The powder was pelleted, broken down and sieved to give a 500 to 1000 micron size fraction.
0.98g of this material was transferred to the reactor described in Example 19a. The material was reduced at a temperature of 251 0 C and a pressure of 450 psig for 24 hours. Hydrogen and liquid n-pentane, molar ratio H 2 to pentane of 1.2:1 was prepared using the method described in Example 19a. Finally the procedure described in Example 19a was used to test the catalyst. The weight hourly space velocity of the n-pentane over the catalyst bed was 1.0 hour- The product contained 67Z iso-pentane and 33Z n-pentane.
This example demonstrates that a platinum containing form of zeolite NU-87, prepared either by impregnation or ion exchange, is highly active for the hydroisomerisation of n-pentane.
Example 20: Hydroisomerisation of Xylenes A portion of the material from Example 5 was pelleted, broken down and sieved to give aggregates of between 425 and 1000 microns. 0.lg of this material were placed in a 2mm internal diameter stainless steel tubular reactor and calcined in air for 16 hours at 500°C. The air was purged with nitrogen and the reactor and contents were cooled to 400 0
C.
Hydrogen was introduced into the reactor at a flow rate of 4.9 litres per hour, as measured at atmospheric pressure, and the pressure was increased to 80 psig. After 1 hour the temperature was reduced to 2750C. A mixture of C8 aromatic hydrocarbons was added to the hydrogen stream at a rate of of liquid per hour. The mole ratio of hydrogen to hydrocarbon was to 1. The temperature was raised in steps to 400°C, at which temperature reasonable conversions were obtained. The temperature was further increased to 450 0 C and then to 4800C.
The feed and product compositions are given in Table 12.
Example 21: Low Pressure Isomerisation in the absence of Hydrogen A portion of the material from Example 5 was pelleted, broken down and sieved to give aggregates of between 425 and 1000 microns. 0.5g of S the aggregates were placed in a 5mm internal diameter stainless steel tubular reactor and calcined for 16 hours at 5000C. The air was purged with nitrogen and the reactor and contents were cooled to 3500C and a mixture of C8 aromatics were passed over the catalyst at a rate of 21ml of liquid per hour. Table 13 gives the feed and product compositions after hours on line.

S-43- H35070 These examples show that zeolite NU-87 can be used to catalyse the isomerisation of xylenes with very little xylenes loss. In addition, the loss of ethylbenzene, desirable for efficient xylene isomerisation plant operation, was quite high.
The following examples illustrate the use of catalyst compositions containing zeolite NU-87 in alkylation reactions.
Example 22: Methylation of Toluene in the presence of Hydrogen.
The catalyst material which had been used in Example 20 was recovered and then calcined in air at 500 0 C for 16 hours then cooled to 400 0 C in Nitrogen. Hydrogen was passed over the catalyst at 2.5 litres per hour, as measured at atmospheric pressure, and the pressure in the reactor was raised to 20 bar. After 1 hour the temperature was reduced to 323 0 C. A mixture of toluene and methanol, in the mole ratio of 3 to 1 was added to the hydrogen stream at a rate of 2.5ml liquid per hour. The temperature was raised in steps to 460 0 C. The compositions of the aromatics in the product are given in Table 14.
Example 23: Methylation of Toluene at atmospheric pressure in the absence of hydrogen.
A portion of the material from Example 5 was pelleted; broken down and sieved to give aggregates of between 425 and 1000 microns. 0.5g of this material were placed in a 5mm internal diameter stainless steel tubular reactor and calcined at 500 0 C in air at atmospheric pressure for 16 hours. The aggregates were cooled in nitrogen to 300 0 C. A mixture of toluene and methanol, in the mole ratio of 3 .to 1, was pumped through the I 25 reactor at various flow rates. The composition of the aromatics in the product at various times can be seen in Table These Examples illustrate the use of zeolite NU-87 as a catalyst i in the alkylation of toluene with methanol, both in the presence and absence of hydrogen.
Example 24 Ethylation of Benzene A portion of the product from Example 16 was pelleted, broken down 0 4 and sieved to give a 425-1000 micron size fraction. 1.0g of this material was placed in a stainless steel reactor tube (internal diameter 4mm) and S heated in air at 500 0 C for 16 hours. The tube was then purged with m«t nitrogen as it was cooled to 400 0
C.
Ethylene was passed into the tube and the pressure was allowed to rise to 13.6 bar. The ethylene flow was set at 11.2 ml/min measured at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. Benzene was introduced at a liquid rate of 12.5 ml/hr. The rates were then adjusted to 6.3 ml/min of ~7 -44- H35070 ethylene and 3.2 ml/hr of benzene. The mole ratio of benzene to ethylene was then 2.25.
The compositions of the product in weight percent at various times are given in Table 16. It is clear from the results that overall selectivity to ethylbenzenes is high. Thus, zeolite NU-87 is a highly selective catalyst for the ethylation of benzene.
Example 25 Use of NU-87 as an Etherification Catalyst A portion of the material from Example 15 was pelleted, broken down and sieved to give a 500 to 1000 micron size fraction. 0.75g of this material was placed in a reactor consisting of 5 stainless steel tubes (internal diameter of 5mm) in series.

1 Example 26 Propane Aromatisation 2.61g of the material from Example 16 was refluxed with 7.2 ml of a 0.1M solution of Ga(N0 3 3 diluted with 70 ml of deionised water, for 26 hours. Water was removed by rotary evaporation. The resulting powder was pelleted, broken down and sieved to give a 500 to 1000 micron size fraction. This fraction was then calcined in a tube furnace, under a stream of dry air (at a rate of 7 dm 3 per hour) at 530 C for 10 hours).
The resultant catalyst was analysed by AAS and found to contain 1.97Z by weight gallium.
I -45- H35070 0.934g of the catalyst was transferred to a stainless steel reactor (internal diameter of 4.6 mm) and supported on glass wool and glass balls. The catalyst bed was dehydrated for 1 hour at 530 0 C under a stream of nitrogen.
A feed of pure propane gas was passed over the catalyst bed at a feed flow rate of 0.778 dm 3 per hour and a weight hourly space velocity of 1.53hr-1. The catalyst bed was maintained at 530°C and atmospheric pressure, and the resulting gaseous products were analysed by gas chromatography. A gas analysis, after the catalyst had been on line at the reaction temperature for 30 minutes, showed that 34Z of the propane feed was being converted. The concentration of benzene in the gaseous hydrocarbon products was 14.4 wtZ, the concentration of toluene was 17.6 wtZ, and the corresponding total concentration of xylene isomers was 6.2 wtZ. Therefore, the total concentration of aromatics in the gaseous 3 hydrocarbon products was 38.1 wtZ.
This example demonstrates illustrates the use of a gallium impregnated zeolite NU-87 in the aromatisation of propane.
Example 27: Preparation of Amines A portion of the material from Example 16 was pelleted, broken down and sieved to give a 500-1000 micron size fraction. A sample of this material (3.42g) was charged to a tubular stainless steel microreactor and heated to 300 0 C under a flow of nitrogen before the reactant gases were introduced. The feed consisted of a gaseous mixture of ammonia and i' metha 1l and conditions were adjusted to give, the desired methanol conversion. The reaction products were measured by on-line gas chromatography and found to consist of a mixture of mono-, di- and trimethylamines. At a temperature of 350 0 C using a feed containing a molar i ratio of ammonia to methanol of 2.25 at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 1450 hr- the methanol conversion was 98% and the product consisted of moleZ monomethylamine, 27 moleZ dimethylamine and 28 moleZ trimethylamine. At the same temperature using a molar ratio of ammonia of methanol of 2.6 at GHSV 1480 hr the methanol conversion was 99Z and the product composition 48 moleZ monomethylamine, 26 moleZ dimethylamine and S 26 moleZ trimethylamine.
This example demonstrates the use of zeolite NU-87 as a catalyst for the preparation of amines.
D Example 28 Fluid Catalytic Cracking Additive Zeolite NU-87 was evaluated as a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) additive by adding it in small quantities to a base FCC catalyst and then S-46- H35070 monitoring its effect on the cracking products in a microactivity test (MAT) run.
Base Catalyst The base FCC catalyst used was Resoc-l E-Cat (Grace Davidson).
The "E-Cat" indicates that the catalyst has been deactivated on line in a FCC plant. The base catalyst was decoked by calcining in air for 24 hours at 550 0 C. Resoc-1 is a rare earth exchanged Ultrastabilised Y zeolite based catalyst in spray dried form.
Additive Catalyst Each sample of NU-87 was tested by preparing two catalysts.
Resoc-1, E-Cat 1Z by weight fresh NU-87 based on the weight of Resoc-l, E-Cat j Resoc-l, E-Cat 2Z by weight fresh NU-87 based on the weight of Resoc-1, E-Cat S (the Z weight of NU-87 are based on anhydrous material).
Individual catalysts were prepared by thorough physical mixing of the base catalyst with a portion of material from Example 2. The mixture was then compressed. The resulting pellet was broken up and sieved to give granules with a size in the range of 44 to 70 microns.
The feedstock used in these experiments was Cincinnati gas oil.

The MAT runs were carried out in a fixed bed unit using a 3ml charge of Cincinnati gas oil. The weight hourly space velocity (WHSV) of individual runs is given in Table 17.
S o The catalyst samples had all been calcined in air at 538 0 C for 1 e hour before testing. The starting temperature for each run was 515.6 0
C.
3' The products were analysed by gas chromatography capillary column analysis from which the research octane number (RON) of the resulting 1 gasoline could be determined. Table 17 lists this data.
From results given in Table 17 it can be seen that the addition of zeolite NU-87 increases the RON of gasoline. It also increases the yield of C 3 and C 4 paraffins and olefins.
I I 1 2 -47- H35070 Example 29: Dewaxing of a feedstock A portion of the material from Example 14 was activated in a manner similar to that described in Example 15. Analysis for Na, Si and Al by AAS gave the following' molar composition.
37.1 SiO 2 Al 2 0 3 less than 0.003 A 24.6 gram sample of this activated material was added to 200 ml of a 1M solution of nickel nitrate in deionised water. The resulting slurry was heated at 90 0 C for 3.5 hours. The nickel nitrate solution was then separated by centrifuging and the zeolite powder subsequently dried at 90 0
C.
The zeolite powder was then nickel exchanged a second time using a fresh portion of the nickel nitrate solution. This gave nickel exchanged zeolite product A.
This procedure was repeated with a second 20.5g sample of the activated material. This gave nickel exchanged zeolite product B.
Products A and B were combined and calcined in static air as follows:a) temperature increasing from 25 to 150 0 C over a period of 1 hour; b) 150 0 C for 1 hour; c) temperature increasing from 150 to 350 0 C over a period of 1 hour; d) 350 0 C for 1 hour; e) temperature increasing from 350 to 540 0 C over a period of 2 hours; 0 and f) 540 0 C for 16 hours.
l The resulting catalyst was analysed by AAS and found to contain S 25 1.45Z by weight of nickel.
A 25g portion of the catalyst was reduced in a flow of hydrogen at S371°C for 2 hours and then sulphided by passing over it a flow of 2Z hydrogen sulphide in hydrogen at 371°C for 2 hours. 150 ml of the feedstock described below was then added to the catalyst in a 300 ml autoclave. The pressure was increased to 400 psig, using hydrogen, and $sit the temperature increased to 3160C. The autoclave was maintained for 2 hours at this temperature and pressure. (The pressure was maintained using a 15dm 3 /hour flow of hydrogen).
The pour point of the resulting dewaxed product was found to be St L -12.20C. This represents a reduction of 19.4C in the pour point of St 35 feedstock. Thus, this example demonstrates the utility of a nickel exchanged NU-87 in dewaxing of a feedstock.
